About Mining Merchant
In Mining Merchant you inherit a rundown jewelry shop and must revive it. By day you mine underground for gems, rare metals and other valuable resources. By night you run the shop, stock shelves, serve customers and rebuild your family’s reputation.
The game can be played alone or with up to three friends in online co‑op. Progress is tracked through upgrades to your mining gear, vehicle, character and shop, letting you dig deeper, carry more loot and expand the storefront.
01 / THE GUIDE
Underground Mining
Head into the depths to dig up precious gems, rare metals, and hidden treasures. Mining can be done solo or with up to three teammates in online co‑op, letting everyone extract the materials needed for crafting.
Collected resources are the raw input for jewelry production. The game lets you upgrade your mining equipment, vehicle and character, which increases digging speed, depth reach and how much you can carry back to the surface.
- Coordinate your routes with teammates to cover more ground.
- Upgrade mining speed early to reach deeper veins faster.

Physics‑Based Crafting
Turn raw ores into shiny rings, necklaces and other jewelry using a satisfying, interactive crafting system. The system lets you smelt, shape metal and set gems with physics‑driven controls.
Finished pieces can be stocked in your shop. The quality of the crafted item influences customer satisfaction, which in turn affects your reputation and future sales.
- Take time to align gems for a cleaner final product.
- Experiment with different metal‑gem combos to see what sells best.

Shop Management
Run the family shop by stocking shelves, greeting picky customers and fulfilling orders. Each satisfied patron raises your reputation, unlocking further upgrades for the shop and its rooms.
The shop can be expanded with new floors and upgraded rooms, allowing more inventory space and faster service. Managing stock levels and responding quickly to customers are key to growth.
- Keep popular items in stock to avoid missed sales.
- Upgrade shop rooms early to improve service speed.

Co‑op Play
Mining Merchant supports online co‑op for up to four players. Friends can join your mining runs, share the loot you collect and split the profits earned from sales.
Co‑op does not change the core loop; each player performs the same mining and shop actions together, making the experience more social and potentially more efficient.
- Assign one player to focus on mining while another handles the shop.
- Communicate when you find valuable resources to coordinate collection.
